Their talents impact a huge array of industries &mdash; from healthcare and defense to tourism and manufacturing. Regardless of which applications excite you, you can take your work further with your master&rsquo;s in industrial engineering. These professionals combine technical, business, and communication skills to design and improve products and processes. IEs develop mathematical models, identify and analyze data using statistical methods, and develop and evaluate alternate strategies for determining the most productive ways to utilize people, materials, machines, money, space, and energy.</p>\r\n<p>Industrial engineers work to continuously improve the design of systems, processes, or products. They design systems that translate a specific product design into a physical reality in the most productive manner and with the highest possible quality. In doing so, the industrial engineer deals with decisions regarding the utilization of people, materials, machines, and automation (including robotics). Industrial engineers are also skilled in engineering economic analysis and information management since they are generally considered to be the natural interface between the technical specialist and management.</p>\r\n<p><strong>Industrial Engineering at UCF</strong></p>\r\n<p>UCF&rsquo;s program focuses on systems integration, human and workplace interactions, supply chain design and logistics, information systems, production operations, business processes, and quality improvement. Students develop mathematical models of systems, collect and analyze data using statistical methods, then develop and evaluate alternative strategies to determine the most productive way to use resources such as people, machines, materials, space, and energy.</p>\r\n<p><strong>Where Graduates Work</strong></p>\r\n<p>UCF&rsquo;s program provides job preparation through hands-on experiences with industry clients. Internships and jobs are plentiful with UCF&rsquo;s proximity to Central Florida Research Park and Florida&rsquo;s high-tech corridor. UCF also offers a Lean Six Sigma &ldquo;Green Belt&rdquo; certification, and an accelerated five-year bachelor&rsquo;s/master&rsquo;s degree. Our graduates have successful careers at top public and private organizations, including Lockheed Martin, L3Harris, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, IBM, and NASA.</p>",

A student who has been excluded from CECS and COP majors may seek readmission to a major in CECS or COP after earning a bachelor’s degree or relevant associate of science degree, either from another college at UCF or from another institution. To be eligible for readmission to CECS or COP, the student must not have accumulated any additional low grades in subsequent coursework used to complete the earned degree.

                    "description": "<p>Industrial engineers bridge the gap between design engineering and business by combining technical, business, and communication skills to design and improve products and processes. Industrial engineers develop mathematical models, identify and analyze data using statistical methods and AI, and develop and evaluate alternate strategies for determining the most productive ways to utilize people, materials, machines, money, space, and energy. UCF’s program provides job preparation through hands-on experiences with industry clients. Internships and jobs are plentiful with UCF’s proximity to Central Florida Research Park and Florida’s high-tech corridor. UCF also offers a Lean Six Sigma “Green Belt” certification, and an accelerated five-year bachelor’s/master’s degree.</p> <br /> <h4>CECS Progress Policy</h4> <ul> <li>Students in the Industrial Engineering major are expected to make consistent good progress toward their degrees to remain enrolled in, or eligible for, any major, minor, or certificate in the College of Engineering &amp; Computer Science (CECS) or the College of Optics and Photonics (COP). To support this, CECS and COP enforce a Progress Policy with two components: the low grade component and the repeat attempt component. <ul> <li><strong>Low Grade Component</strong>: Any student majoring in Industrial Engineering who has accumulated 7 or more unsuccessful attempts (i.e., grades below &quot;C&quot; (2.0), U grades, and withdrawals, including in 0-credit courses) over all courses taken at UCF will be placed on Lack of Progress Probation and remain on Lack of Progress Probation as long as the student is enrolled in a CECS or COP major. If a student on Lack of Progress Probation has a tenth unsuccessful attempt over all courses taken at UCF, the student will be Excluded from all CECS and COP majors, minors, and certificates.</li> <li><strong>Repeat Attempt Component</strong>: Any student majoring in Industrial Engineering who repeats any UCF course and does not earn a grade of &quot;C&quot; (2.0) or better on the second attempt will be placed on Lack of Progress Probation and remain on Lack of Progress Probation as long as the student is enrolled in a CECS or COP major. If a student on Lack of Progress Probation does not receive a grade of &quot;C&quot; (2.0) or better by the third attempt in the same UCF course, the student will be Excluded from all CECS and COP majors, minors, and certificates.</li> </ul> </li> <li>A student who has been excluded from CECS and COP majors cannot declare any CECS or COP minors or certificates unless as required by the student’s degree program. A student who has been excluded from CECS and COP majors may seek readmission to a major in CECS or COP after earning a bachelor’s degree or relevant associate of science degree, either from another college at UCF or from another institution. To be eligible for readmission to CECS or COP, the student must not have accumulated any additional low grades in subsequent coursework used to complete the earned degree. An excluded student who meets these criteria is not guaranteed readmission to a CECS or COP major. Any student who is readmitted to the Industrial Engineering major will be subject to all probation conditions that applied at the time of exclusion.</li> </ul><p>This program prepares students for state-regulated professional licensure or certification. For more information on how this program may prepare you in that regard, please view the <a href=\"https://apq.ucf.edu/document/industrialengbs-disclosure/\"><u>licensure disclosure for the Industrial Engineering (B.S.I.E.)</u></a> program.</p>",

The Quality Systems Engineering courses build on an undergraduate degree in industrial engineering or a closely related discipline to provide the necessary knowledge to plan, control, and improve the product assurance function in government, military, service, or manufacturing organizations.</p> <p><strong>Simulation Modeling and Analysis</strong></p> <p>The Simulation Modeling and Analysis research and studies in the Industrial Engineering MS program focus on providing a fundamental understanding of the functional and technical design requirements for simulation in manufacturing and service industries. Research in this area is based on a systems modeling paradigm and provides coding and development capability in the context of a broader systems framework. Significant exposure to design and analysis aspects is a core element of the track. The Simulation Modeling and Analysis research and coursework prepare individuals with an undergraduate degree in Engineering, Science, Mathematics, or a closely related discipline for careers in simulation, focusing particularly on using simulation as an analysis and design tool for the manufacturing and service industries.</p> <p><strong>Systems Engineering</strong></p> <p>Intelligence is being infused into everyday systems, processes and infrastructure that enable physical goods to be developed, manufactured, bought and sold. These same systems also facilitate the movement and delivery of global products and services that support worldwide markets such as finance, energy resources, and healthcare systems.</p> <p>With these technological advancements, comes a new level of complexity as organizations struggle to integrate systems, processes, and data feeds. As a result, the demand for systems engineering and related skills is expected to grow significantly.</p> <p>Systems engineers design and implement computer systems, software, and networks, including defining complex system requirements, and determining system specifications, processes and working parameters.</p> <p>The Systems Engineering studies and research in the Industrial Engineering MS program are intended for individuals of all engineering disciplines. Research and coursework focus on a systems view of engineering problems related to the management of complex industrial, military, government, and social systems.</p> <p><strong>This program can be taken entirely through the Center for Online and Virtual Education (COVE), which provides video-streamed versions of classes over the Internet. More information about this program can be found at <a href=\"http://www.cecs.ucf.edu/COVE/\" target=\"_blank\">here</a> or (407) 823-3814.</strong></p> <p>The MS program offers both thesis and nonthesis options with each requiring 30 credit hours of courses. At least half of the regular coursework (including thesis hours) must be at the 6000 level. A cumulative grade-point average of B (3.0) must be maintained in the entire program of study.</p> <p><strong>A program of study must be developed and approved by the graduate program director during the first semester of enrollment.</strong></p> <p><strong>Thesis Option: </strong>The thesis option requires 30 credit hours: 12 credit hours of required courses, 12 credit hours of electives, and 6 thesis credit hours. Students must also write and successfully defend a thesis.</p> <p><strong>Nonthesis Option: </strong>The nonthesis option requires 30 credit hours: 12 credit hours of required courses, 15 credit hours of electives, and a 3 credit Capstone course (EIN6950).</p> <p>Research studies are required in one or more courses. The research study and report will focus on reviewing and analyzing contemporary research in the profession in order to help students acquire knowledge and skills pertaining to research-based best practices. In addition, students may engage in directed independent studies, directed research or a research report during their studies.</p> <p>Students on assistantships must take 9 credit hours per semester (Fall, Spring) to satisfy the university's requirement for full-time status. Most students working full time take 6 credit hours per semester. At that rate, the program can be completed in 6 semesters or less. However, students with more time available and with an early start on a thesis, if applicable, can finish the program in 3 semesters.</p> <p><strong>Total Credit Hours Required: 30 Credit Hours Minimum beyond the Bachelor's Degree</strong></p><p><strong>Please note:</strong> <a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/online/degree/industrial-engineering-m-s/\" target=\"_blank\">Industrial Engineering (MS) may be completed fully online</a>, although not all elective options or program prerequisites may be offered online.

The program requirements are flexible enough to allow the students to tailor the coursework according to their desired educational and career goals. With the approval of their advisor and/or the graduate program director, students may select from the following groups of courses to satisfy the needs of their research goals or career objectives. To assist the students in achieving these goals and objectives, courses are grouped below to suggest focus areas, only as a guide to assist in advising and course selection.

The QE's objective is to determine whether the student's knowledge allows for a thorough understanding of methods and techniques discussed in the literature in his/her area(s) of interest.  The IEMS PhD Qualifying Examination is a take-home exam designed to test the student's knowledge of fundamentals within the discipline and to assess the student's ability to conduct independent research and to think analytically, creatively, and independently. Exam questions address the student's global research awareness as well as his/her analytical thinking, research potential, and communication skills. The student must be able to understand the field's literature, as well as to summarize and discuss research findings.  It is strongly recommended that students take ESI 6891 IEMS Research Methods prior to taking the Qualifying Examination. While thinking about taking the Qualifying Examination, students are strongly encouraged to evaluate their options for research and make informed decisions about their area of research interests. It is recommended that students seek advice from faculty members whose research interests match their own research areas in order for the students to properly select their electives and develop the appropriate plan of study.  In addition to the Qualifying Examination, the student must pass a Candidacy Examination and a Dissertation Defense Examination. Details about these examinations and other requirements are located in the Industrial Engineering PhD Handbook.  The Candidacy Examination may be taken any time after successful completion of the Qualifying Examination, but not in the same semester. The objective of the Candidacy Examination is to determine if the student has the breadth and depth of knowledge required to conduct independent research in the proposed area. The Candidacy Examination includes an oral presentation of a detailed dissertation proposal, which becomes the oral candidacy document, and the written component of the Candidacy Examination is satisfied by the proposal document, which becomes the required candidacy document.  The Dissertation Defense Examination is an oral examination taken in defense of the written dissertation. The College of Engineering and Computer Science requires that all dissertation defense announcements are approved by the student's adviser and posted on the college's website and on the Events Calendar of the College of Graduate Studies website at least two weeks before the defense date. </li></ul><h3>Dissertation Committee Requirement</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li>The doctoral committee must consist of a minimum of four members: at least three must be graduate faculty members from within the student's department, and one must be at large, from graduate faculty scholars outside the Industrial Engineering faculty. The committee chair must be a member of the graduate faculty who is approved to direct dissertations. Faculty members with joint appointments in IEMS may serve as department-faculty committee members. Adjunct faculty and off-campus experts who are graduate faculty scholars may serve as the outside-the-department person on the committee, as well as serve as co-chairs of the committee with the approval of the department Chair. The College of Graduate Studies reserves the right to review appointments to advisory committees, place a representative on any advisory committee, or appoint a co-adviser.  Joint faculty members may serve as committee chairs. Off-campus experts and adjunct faculty who are graduate faculty scholars may not serve as committee chairs, but may serve as co-chairs.  All committee members vote on acceptance or rejection of the dissertation proposal and the final dissertation. The dissertation proposal or final dissertation must be approved by the advisory committee with no more than one dissenting vote. </li></ul><h3>Admission to Candidacy</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li>The following are required to be admitted to candidacy and enroll in dissertation hours.

At this time transfer credit will be evaluated on a course-by-course basis. The student's plan of study itemizing the study plan must be approved prior to the end of the first semester of studies by the Graduate Director of the IEMS Department.</p><p>After completion of the Qualifying Examination and admission as a doctoral student, the official plan of study is developed that must meet with departmental approval. The student's dissertation committee approves the final plan of study after the Candidacy Examination is passed. These steps are normally completed within the first year of study beyond the master's degree. The degree must be completed within seven years from the date of admission as a pre-doctoral student and within four years of passing the Candidacy Examination.</p><p>The Department of Industrial Engineering and Management Systems monitors student progress and may dismiss a student if performance standards or academic progress are not maintained. Satisfactory academic performance in a program includes, but is not limited to, maintaining at least a 3.0 GPA in all graduate work taken as part of (or transferred into) the plan of study. Satisfactory performance also involves maintaining the standards of academic progress and professional integrity expected in our discipline.

know their intended direction of research but they do not necessarily know their specific topic/problem. The QE&#x27;s objective is to determine whether the student&#x27;s knowledge allows for a thorough understanding of methods and techniques discussed in the literature in his/her area(s) of interest.\n\nThe IEMS PhD Qualifying Examination is a take-home exam designed to test the student&#x27;s knowledge of fundamentals within the discipline and to assess the student&#x27;s ability to conduct independent research and to think analytically, creatively, and independently. Exam questions address the student&#x27;s global research awareness as well as his/her analytical thinking, research potential, and communication skills. The student must be able to understand the field&#x27;s literature, as well as to summarize and discuss research findings.\n\nIt is strongly recommended that students take ESI 6891 IEMS Research Methods prior to taking the Qualifying Examination. While thinking about taking the Qualifying Examination, students are strongly encouraged to evaluate their options for research and make informed decisions about their area of research interests. It is recommended that students seek advice from faculty members whose research interests match their own research areas in order for the students to properly select their electives and develop the appropriate plan of study.\n\nIn addition to the Qualifying Examination, the student must pass a Candidacy Examination and a Dissertation Defense Examination. Details about these examinations and other requirements are located in the Industrial Engineering PhD Handbook.\n\nThe Candidacy Examination may be taken any time after successful completion of the Qualifying Examination, but not in the same semester. The objective of the Candidacy Examination is to determine if the student has the breadth and depth of knowledge required to conduct independent research in the proposed area. The Candidacy Examination includes an oral presentation of a detailed dissertation proposal, which becomes the oral candidacy document, and the written component of the Candidacy Examination is satisfied by the proposal document, which becomes the required candidacy document.\n\nThe Dissertation Defense Examination is an oral examination taken in defense of the written dissertation. The College of Engineering and Computer Science requires that all dissertation defense announcements are approved by the student&#x27;s adviser and posted on the college&#x27;s website and on the Events Calendar of the College of Graduate Studies website at least two weeks before the defense date.\n</div></div></li></ul></div></div></section><section><header data-test=\"grouping-4-header\"><div><h2 data-testid=\"grouping-label\"><span>Dissertation Committee Requirement</span></h2></div><div><span>0</span><span>Total Credits</span></div><div><div><button aria-label=\"Collapse\"><i></i></button></div></div></header><div><div><ul><li data-test=\"ruleView-A\"><div data-test=\"ruleView-A-result\"><div>The doctoral committee must consist of a minimum of four members: at least three must be graduate faculty members from within the student&#x27;s department, and one must be at large, from graduate faculty scholars outside the Industrial Engineering faculty.

The dissertation committee will consist of a minimum of four members. At least three members must be Anthropology Graduate Faculty, and the student's advisor will serve as the committee chair. One member must be from either outside the student's department or UCF. Graduate faculty members must form the majority of any given committee. A Dissertation Committee must be formed prior to undertaking the qualifying examination.  A student who passes their candidacy exam (proposal defense) will begin the dissertation process. The dissertation serves as the culmination of the coursework that comprises this research-based degree. It must make a significant original theoretical, intellectual, practical, creative, or research contribution to the student's area within the discipline. Dissertations will be theoretically grounded, show expertise in the topic area, and utilize methodologically sound analysis of either quantitative data, qualitative data or mixed-methods data. The dissertation will be completed through a minimum of 15 hours of dissertation credit, which students will use to conduct original research. </li></ul><h3>Examinations</h3> 0 Total Credits No Rules <h3>Qualifying Exam</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> Students are expected to form their dissertation committee by the beginning of their third semester. The Qualifying Exam will consist of a collection of research statements written by the PhD student in consultation with their committee and an oral defense of the statements. The number and topics of the statements will be determined by the advisor in consultation with the student and the dissertation committee. Passing the qualifying exam is necessary before a student can schedule their Candidacy Exam. </li></ul><h3>Candidacy Examination—Written Proposal and Oral Defense</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> Advancement to candidacy requires a successful defense of the student's dissertation grant proposal. This defense takes place in the semester prior to the one in which the student intends to enroll in dissertation hours, normally during the 4th semester. The proposal defense is based on a research proposal that follows the guidelines and format of a major external grant agreed upon by the dissertation committee. </li></ul><h3>Independent Learning</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li> As with all graduate programs, independent learning is an important component in the IAS doctoral program. Students will demonstrate independent learning through research seminars, directed research and the dissertation. Doctoral students are also expected to pursue additional independent reading beyond formal coursework relevant to their research and career direction. </li></ul><h4>Grand Total Credits: <strong>51</strong></h4><h2>Application Requirements</h2><h2>Application Deadlines</h2><h2>Financial Information</h2><p>Graduate students may receive financial assistance through fellowships, assistantships, tuition support, or loans.

Businesses rely on information technologists to drive efficiency and productivity throughout their enterprises, not only by maintaining computer equipment and software, but also by improving business processes, and discovering innovative ways to use an enterprise’s information resources to serve its customers. UCF also offers a minor in information technology and an undergraduate certificate in cyber operations.</p> <br /> <h4>CECS Progress Policy</h4> <ul> <li>Students in the Information Technology major are expected to make consistent good progress toward their degrees to remain enrolled in, or eligible for, any major, minor, or certificate in the College of Engineering &amp; Computer Science (CECS) or the College of Optics and Photonics (COP). To support this, CECS and COP enforce a Progress Policy with two components: the low grade component and the repeat attempt component. <ul> <li><strong>Low Grade Component</strong>: Any student majoring in Information Technology who has accumulated 7 or more unsuccessful attempts (i.e., grades below &quot;C&quot; (2.0), U grades, and withdrawals, including in 0-credit courses) over all courses taken at UCF will be placed on Lack of Progress Probation and remain on Lack of Progress Probation as long as the student is enrolled in a CECS or COP major. If a student on Lack of Progress Probation has a tenth unsuccessful attempt over all courses taken at UCF, the student will be Excluded from all CECS and COP majors, minors, and certificates.</li> <li><strong>Repeat Attempt Component</strong>: Any student majoring in Information Technology who repeats any UCF course and does not earn a grade of &quot;C&quot; (2.0) or better on the second attempt will be placed on Lack of Progress Probation and remain on Lack of Progress Probation as long as the student is enrolled in a CECS or COP major. If a student on Lack of Progress Probation does not receive a grade of &quot;C&quot; (2.0) or better by the third attempt in the same UCF course, the student will be Excluded from all CECS and COP majors, minors, and certificates.</li> </ul> </li> <li>A student who has been excluded from CECS and COP majors cannot declare any CECS or COP minors or certificates unless as required by the student’s degree program. A student who has been excluded from CECS and COP majors may seek readmission to a major in CECS or COP after earning a bachelor’s degree or relevant associate of science degree, either from another college at UCF or from another institution. To be eligible for readmission to CECS or COP, the student must not have accumulated any additional low grades in subsequent coursework used to complete the earned degree. An excluded student who meets these criteria is not guaranteed readmission to a CECS or COP major. Any student who is readmitted to the Information Technology major will be subject to all probation conditions that applied at the time of exclusion.</li> </ul>",
